Artist Statement

The Life Of A Painting

Written By Anna Jean Lang Holmes

Paintings have a beginning, but no real end. They come from within and go forth into the world.A never ending journey of creativity loved by some and hated by others.

A few we cling to forever they travel around with us from place to place like an old rag doll from our childhood.They are scratched , dented, worn and tattered.Many are early paintings , raw in form lacking composition , But we drag them around as a constant reminder of how far we have come.

Others we give away freely or barter with in times of need.Used as gifts or donations to support a cause.That's one of the best things about being an artist .You can always draw on your talent to brighten someone's day.

Some are pampered and shine in shows adorned with shiny ribbons and awards . Some are featured in exhibitions for all to see and enjoy , Truly amazing ones hang in museums or in a collectors home.

A over whelming urge to paint can lead an artist that's low on supplies to take drastic measures and on occasion they get painted over and become something new.

Often they are recycled discarded by those who hold no attachment to them.They are sold at yards sales , donated to thrift stores and sold in estate sales.

But Very rarely do they ever make it to the rubbish , someone always says " Don't throw that away ! Are you crazy ? I'll take that ! " And off it goes to another world , another life , and a whole new chain of events.

I try not to limit myself to only one art form, for my soul knows not the limits set by others. If my mind has the ability to imagine it, then my hands have the power to bring it to life.

Ones life should not be judged by levels of formal education, but measured by a persons true level of intellect, creativity, ability to set and achieve goals .

I 'm always nervous when it comes time to enter a show,my stomach knots up, and I question my talent left and right. Having no formal training as an artist, I often feel like an outsider or like a fish out of water. But I love what I do, and the few awkward moments are worth it, when I'm lucky enough to win.
